    Default Recent victims off the Stubby

    Hi all,

    A few pic's of some pieces that the stubby has recently gotten her teeth into.
    These have all been turned on my new'ish' Teknatool Titan chuck - a lovely piece of engineering.

    I got this chuck in May this year having mentioned on the forum that I was on the look out for one. I was extremely fortunate that a forum member (powderpost) happened to have one going. The deal was done and it winged it's way to me and has been given a thorough workout since then - thanks again Jim (it's been some time getting some evidence of the beast in use!).

    This is a nice piece (22") of East African Camphor (Ocotea usambarensis) sandwiched between a newly roughout lump of Toona cedrela and another large bit of Camphor

    Another couple of big lumps being roughed out - pity these will take a year or so to dry).

    Some big pieces turned out of Jacaranda recently (19" and 20"):

    A lovely large platter - Mangifera indica (20").
    Attachment 91504 Attachment 91505
    The largest piece I've done so far was 30" in diameter but this was snaffled up before I could even get a picture.

    I have found the chuck extremely useful in dealing with big stuff but also it can be very refined in it's use. I have made quite a few plates / platters with the chuck used in a recess in expansion mode. This is left as is so that the utility item can be returned to the lathe at a later stage if need be for re-finishing or some such.
    Some of the recesses have literally only been 2 to 3mm deep and this has been more than sufficient to safely hold the piece.

    Very impressive stuff Andy So what size jaws are you using on that chuck (assuming they are normal bowl jaws of course)
    Does that magnifera work as good as it looks??? - if it does I might have to come over for a visit one day with the chainsaw

    Weird that! Just noticed it now myself! The bowl is about 1" (20 to 25mm) thick so I can guarantee it's not see through!

    Thanks Vern - I think the jaws are what what they call Titan jaws - a very large version of their power grip jaws.

    That mangifera is plain old mango, but it seems to like the conditions here - all the bits I've turned have had some nice figure and a bit a spalting of some sort.

    Another chainsaw is always very welcome here - the wood shed is overflowing!
    Cheers,
    Andy

    They just keep getting bigger and bigger ,

    where will it all end

    -------------------------
    Vern
    here are the specs for the big nova jaws

    " A ‘supersized’ PowerGrip design these jaws combined with the power and capacity of the Titan Chuck – have far the most powerful grip of any other chuck or jaw combination.
    Able to hold spigot work up to 19” long.
    Special 3 hole fixing means these jaws can only be used in conjunction with the Nova Titan 5” Chuck, as the extra gripping power of the chuck enhances the PowerGrip’s action.
    Able to hold large work up to 750mm (29”) in diameter (with a dovetail facility with up to 120mm (5”) recess). "
